Report of activities. June 2000 - December 2001

Abstract:

Between October 2000 and June 2001,
we disseminated information on our
grant - making procedures to at least
600 women's organisations in various parts
of Africa. We also organised briefings for
clusters of women's organisations in
Western, Eastern and Southern Africa,
covering English, French and Portuguese
speaking countries. We received 85
applications from 23 African countries. In
October 2001, the AWDF awarded its first
grants to 32 women's organisations from 19
African countries. Some of the awards were
multi-year grants. In addition, we gave
donations to six rural women's groups in
Ghana. The total amount of grants awarded
was $344,000 to 38 women's organisations.
